Lavender hat. Lavender pants. No Lavender beard. You must have me confused with your boyfriend.

There ya go again. I like Connelly. You don't think I do? See how everything gets twisted?

I really wish I could change your tires tomorrow but it's just too damn far from here. Almost 400 miles each way. I think Jerry is going. Tell him I said to change your tires.

JD, ya got me confused with Farley. 12.7. That's with bad air, cool engine and a hard launch from about 1300 RPM. Bracket racing is done running hot and launch at idle. I lose about .50 not .65. Thought ya got me, didn't ya?

This fall I'll be able to run 12.4/12.5 in good air. Bracket will be around 12.9.

No confusion, just gearing up for a round at the Challenge. This is to long between events, a lot of time to talk smack
